Rainbow

• Follow that light now seeming sweet.
• Follow the reds, the yellows, the blues.
• Follow them to their very end.
• Chase your rainbow to where it hits bottom.
• Chase your rainbow until it turns black.
• And the grass and flowers at the end are dead.
• Chase your rainbow until you find that golden pot,
• Now a glowing black cauldron,
• No longer containing gold...
• But filled to the brim with snakes and magick.
• Find that place somewhere over the rainbow.
• That place where dreams die and hopes fade.
• That place where the light now sweet is dying...
